Westbound Bristol Road will be closed and detoured between Stump Road and Upper State Road in Warrington for three weeks starting Wednesday for widening, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said. The work is associated with the construction of the Route 202 Parkway.

Eastbound Bristol Road has been closed to traffic between Upper State and Stump Road since Sept. 27. The eastbound lane is expected to reopen late this year, weather permitting.

Crews have been working since Sept. 27 to widen Bristol Road from 22 feet to 55 feet for its eventual connection with the new Route 202 Parkway, which will intersect Bristol Road between Upper State and Stump roads when it opens in mid-2012. In spring 2011, crews also will widen Upper State Road and construct left turn lanes at all four approaches at its intersection with Bristol Road.

The project is part of the $42.2 million contract to build the northern section of the Route 202 Parkway between Pickertown Road in Warrington and Route 611 in Doylestown Township. James D. Morrissey, Inc. of Philadelphia is the general contractor.

PennDOT reminds motorists they can log on to 511pa.com or call 511 from any phone to check traffic conditions on major highways before heading out.
